1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The application must be deployed and reachable over a network (typically HTTP/HTTPS). The vulnerable endpoint is dashboard.php, which must be accessible without prior authentication - or must accept the userid parameter before enforcing session ownership checks. The CVSS 4.0 vector assigns PR:N, indicating no authenticated session is required to trigger the flaw. The limiting factors are: (1) the software must actually be deployed and internet-accessible, as it is a niche open-source project; (2) the confidentiality impact is Low, suggesting only partial or indirect data disclosure rather than full system compromise; (3) no integrity or availability impact is indicated, limiting the attack to read-only unauthorized access. There are no platform-specific requirements beyond a PHP-capable web server hosting this application.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with E:P (exploit proof-of-concept) reflects a remotely reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges and no user interaction. The confidentiality impact is rated Low (VC:L) with no integrity or availability impact, yielding a score of 5.5 - moderate in absolute terms. EPSS data is not provided, but a public exploit in a GitHub issue against a small, unmaintained project makes this a realistic opportunistic target for anyone scanning for exposed dashboards. The absence of a CISA KEV listing and the Low confidentiality impact bound the real-world severity: this is not a system-compromise vector but rather an unauthorized data disclosure risk. The product appears to be a niche open-source project with limited enterprise adoption, which constrains blast radius significantly. The maintainer's non-response to disclosure is a meaningful risk amplifier for anyone currently running this software, as no patch path exists.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers a publicly accessible installation of the inventory-management-system via web search or automated scanning and navigates to dashboard.php. By iterating or guessing userid values in the URL or POST parameters - aided by the published proof-of-concept in GitHub issue #15 - the attacker retrieves inventory or user data belonging to other accounts without authenticating as those users. The low attack complexity and available PoC make this trivially repeatable against any exposed instance.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 13, 2026

Improper access control in Rizwan17's PHP-based inventory-management-system exposes dashboard.php to unauthorized access via manipulation of the userid parameter, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to access other users' data or bypass authentication controls. The affected codebase is identified by commit bfe78a330d01bb26b9daec5dc9ecd5c77900e03f and is distributed as a rolling release with no versioned patch available. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been published in a GitHub issue, and the maintainer has not responded to the responsible disclosure.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis; the maintainer has not responded to the responsible disclosure submitted via GitHub issue (https://github.com/Rizwan17/inventory-management-system/issues/15). Organizations running this software should immediately restrict network access to the application using firewall rules or authentication middleware (e.g., HTTP Basic Auth at the web server level via nginx/Apache directives), preventing direct public exposure of dashboard.php. As a more targeted compensating control, validate and enforce server-side session ownership of the userid parameter by comparing it against the authenticated session's user identity before returning any data - this requires modifying dashboard.php directly. Alternatively, remove or take offline any public-facing instance until an upstream fix is available, as the public exploit lowers the bar for exploitation. Because this is an open-source project with an unresponsive maintainer, forking and patching the repository is the most durable fix path for active operators.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is a PHP web application (cpe:2.3:a:rizwan17:inventory-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) hosted on GitHub under the Rizwan17 namespace. The vulnerability exists in dashboard.php, a likely authentication-gated entry point, where the userid HTTP parameter is accepted without adequate server-side authorization validation. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) describes failures where a system does not restrict access to a resource in a manner consistent with the security policy - in this context, the server processes attacker-controlled userid values and returns data scoped to that user without verifying the requestor's entitlement. This is consistent with an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) pattern or a full authentication bypass depending on whether the page enforces session presence before accepting the parameter.

DescriptionCVE.org

A security flaw has been discovered in Rizwan17 inventory-management-system up to bfe78a330d01bb26b9daec5dc9ecd5c77900e03f. Affected is an unknown function of the file dashboard.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument userid results in improper access controls. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
